As the excitement for the milestone 60th Academy of Country Music Awards continues to build, the Academy of Country Music (ACM), Prime Video, and Dick Clark Productions (DCP) has announced the first round of performers for the upcoming ceremony, including Blake Shelton, Eric Church, and Lainey Wilson with additional performers to be announced in the coming weeks.
Six-time ACM Award winner and former ACM Awards host Blake Shelton will hit the stage as his Top 10 single, “Texas,” climbs the charts. Seven-time ACM Award winner Eric Church is set to perform on the heels of the release of his latest album, Evangeline Vs. The Machine, which drops on May 2. Reigning Entertainer of the Year and 12-time ACM Award winner Lainey Wilson will make her return to the ACM Awards stage after securing the Academy’s top honor in 2024.
Country music icon Reba McEntire will return to host the 60th ACM Awards, marking her 18th time hosting or co-hosting the event, more than any other artist in ACM history.
“It’s gonna be an absolute can’t-miss show and I can’t wait to be there with you,” McEntire, who is a 16-time ACM Award winner, said in a video message shared to the official Academy of Country Music’s social media pages.
